After dinner, Kaguya hurried back to her room to play games, looking like a spoiled young lady. Rin was about to help the two old people clear the table, but was called out of the room by Taketori.
Standing in the bamboo forest at the door, Taketori hesitated again and again, but still asked: "I wonder if you are still willing to marry my daughter, Rin-sama? Kaguya is all alone, and you are with her day and night. If this gets out, it will not be good for her reputation. If you don't want to marry her, I hope you won't delay Kaguya."
"Don't worry, father-in-law. I came back this time just to propose to Kaguya."
Although his attitude was bad, it was actually for Kaguya's own good. Rin naturally wouldn't get angry and nodded sincerely.
The Bamboo Cutter heaved a sigh of relief and was about to say something else when a few people on the path surrounded the carriage and walked towards them.
"It's Master Abe who has arrived."
Rin narrowed his eyes slightly, ran into Kaguya's room and closed the door.
Soon, a voice came from the door. Abe Yu-sama was standing at the door, speaking sincerely and enthusiastically: "Miss Kaguya, I have finally obtained the fire rat fur after much hardship. I hope Miss Kaguya will accept it. Please ask Taketori to pass it on for me."
Bamboo Cutter took the box he handed over and saw that the box itself was extremely gorgeous. He believed a little more that the treasure was real and became a little worried about his daughter's marriage.
After opening the door, Kaguya took the box and pouted slightly: "Do you really think I'm so easy to fool?"
"You, don't always be skeptical. There are still sincere people in this world. What if they bring real treasures?"
Seeing that Kaguya was more or less prejudiced against other people, Taketori hurriedly spoke to comfort her, but Rin beside her rolled her eyes.
It was obvious that the old man still cared a lot about him being away for two years and leaving Kaguya behind.
At this time, Master Abe at the door spoke again: "Are you satisfied with this treasure, Miss Kaguya? To be honest, I spent a lot of manpower and resources, and spent nearly two years to get it. I hope Miss Kaguya will appreciate my sincerity..."
"Love is like fire, but it cannot burn this fur coat. My sleeves have been wet for years, but today I have finally stopped crying."
Kaguya sneered, threw the paper with the love poem to Rin, and bowed slightly to Taketori: "Since the fire rat fur cannot be burned, and can be reborn clean after being put into the fire, then we just need to throw it into the fire to test whether it is real or not."
Taketori also thought it made sense, so he turned around and walked to the door to convey it to Lord Abe.
He hesitated a little, but thinking that the beauty of the fur coat was rare, it must be genuine, so he nodded confidently: "Come on, set up a brazier."
The followers quickly started a fire. Bamboo Cutter opened the treasure chest, stared at the gorgeous fire rat fur, shook his head, and threw it into the brazier.
Soon, a burnt smell came from the air. The fire on the fur coat was fierce. The flames were getting bigger and bigger, and finally the fur coat was burned into a pile of black ash.
Mr. Abe's face fell and he took two steps back in disbelief, feeling frustrated as if he had lost not only money but also his wife.
The first thing that came to his mind was not that he was deceived by his so-called good friend, but that he thought of the wife and concubine whom he divorced after he was determined to win Kaguya, and he instantly felt ridiculed.
At this time, Kaguya's voice came from the inner room: "The fake fur coat will turn into dust immediately after being burned by fire. It's a waste of time to waste your time on such a mediocre thing! You should go back, sir."
He stamped his feet in anger, turned around, got on the carriage, and left quietly.
I won’t mention the jokes this caused among the people. After he left, Kaguya picked up her phone with a bored look on her face: “How annoying! You don’t even have two ounces of ink, but you insist on writing a poem. Don’t you know it’s embarrassing for me to read it? It’s even more embarrassing to reply!”
Her complaint made Lin, who was originally planning to write a love poem in imitation of the ancients, scratch his head awkwardly: "Well, this is tradition... It's not good to violate tradition, right? Besides, I see that you replied very quickly."
"That's because I'm well-educated and quick-witted."
"rua!"
"Cricket Gongkou Rin is provoking me again, I won't marry her!"
While they were playing around, Rin recalled the story of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, which he had roughly read. He still couldn't tell when the remaining two would present their treasures. He only knew that there seemed to be some time in between.
Taking this opportunity, Rin can live with Kaguya shamelessly again and consolidate his current cultivation.
"By the way, have Saigyouji and his family moved here? I'll take some time to visit them in a couple of days. And Meihong, I don't know what progress she's made in her cultivation now..."
Chapter 53: Yonglin, what kind of doctor is he if he stabs people in the back?
Early in the morning, Rin went to Fujiwara's house to look for Meihong. He stood on the wall and meowed for a long time but didn't see Meihong come out.
Normally at this time she would have been practicing in the backyard, and Meihong was not the type to be lazy. She changed her mind and decided to go back to the old place. She turned around and jumped lightly, disappearing into the air in an instant.
After searching for a long time in the valley where they had practiced together, they couldn't find him. Then they searched the bamboo forest where they had practiced together before, but still couldn't find him.
Rin felt a little strange and prepared to go back to Fujiwara's house to ask someone.
He returned to Fujiwara's house, jumped into the backyard, grabbed a follower from the porch and interrogated him. Only then did he find out that less than two months after he left, Meihong wanted to go out to practice and had a dispute with her family.
After all, at that time, women, unless they were shrine maidens, Onmyojis or sorcerers who had very high status and could not be treated as ordinary people, were not allowed to travel far away. Fujiwara no Fuhito rejected the idea without saying a word.
As the number of requests increased, Meihong was simply locked up. Meihong was very stubborn and ran away after a few days to become a lone ranger.
Lin couldn't help but worry when he heard the news. Although Meihong was very talented, she could only deal with those small monsters. There were so many powerful monsters in the world, especially in this era, when demons were rampant.
Even if Meihong is carrying all the props he gave her, and even if the slightly more powerful monsters are not interested in eating people but only interested in being gay and stealing men... well, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about. The only thing to worry about is being pestered by female monsters who like lesbians.
Ahem, he had heard that lesbians believed in making love first and having sex later, and they thought they had high tastes and would never do something like robbing a woman.
Since Meihong is gone, even in a place as big as District 11, finding someone is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that it is possible that the person has already left the country.
Rin thought about it, opened the space on his phone, and found the radio-like communicator that Kappa had given him.
The communicator can be charged with lightning and can also be activated by infusing demonic power, spiritual energy, and other methods. According to Kawajo Hequ himself, it supports at least more than twenty different powers and energy sources. It is absolutely practical and is also one of the future mass production plans.
Following the operating instructions he had written down in his memo, he activated the "Chi" on the sensing device, turned on the radio, and tuned to the Kappa-specific channel.
"Hello, this is Jingu Rin, please reply if you get it."
After yelling for more than ten times, there was a beep and then the voice of Kawajo Hetori came, mixed with heavy gasps: "Oh, got it! I was busy disassembling the parts!"
"How's business those days?"
"Alas, although we were able to develop several batches of weapons later on thanks to the money and goods from Lord Rin, it's a pity that neither the monsters nor humans have much vision... But luckily, we met some weirdos who bought them two days ago. This backward era is our misfortune!"
Lin had a strange look on his face and opened his mouth to complain, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to complain about. He couldn't cough it out or swallow it, and felt uncomfortable all over.
After half a minute, he coughed and continued, "So... the shareholders' matter?"
"Wow! I almost forgot. I discussed this with other tribesmen the last time I came back. We all agreed that your investment is quite good and you can get 15% of the shares. Our Kappa Heavy Industry has also been officially established. I forgot to mention it because I didn't contact you before. Well, if you have time, come to the old place where we met last time to sign the contract. I'll keep the dividends from the last batch of weapons sold for you."
Lin Shaoshao felt a little ashamed that she had taken advantage of the simple and kind-hearted Kappa, so she decided to take some time out in the next few days to meet with He Cheng He Dou, buy more things, and become the largest shareholder of Kappa Heavy Industries.
"I'll make an appointment in advance. By the way, could you please help me find someone?"
After telling them about Meihong, He Cheng He Qu agreed without hesitation. Lin originally wanted to ask them to go to the ghost tribe to deliver a message, but then he thought it would be too much trouble and it would be better to spend most of the day going back to the ghost tribe himself, so he said a few words of comfort and hung up the phone.
Putting away the radio, Rin returned to Heijo-kyo and began to inquire whether there was any Saigyouji family in the city.
Hard work pays off, and since this surname itself is very rare, we finally found out the location of Saigyouji's home.
I arrived in the south of the city and knocked on the door of the address I had asked. Soon a young woman opened the door. Judging from the hair accessories on her head, she was already married at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Seeing a strange young man, she seemed a little wary and reserved: "Who are you, guest?"
"Hello, is this Saigyouji's house? I'm looking for Saigyouji Aya and her father."
The woman looked at Rin again and found that he didn't look like a bad person, so she nodded and asked him to wait and walked into the inner room. Not long after, a familiar young man's face appeared in front of Rin.
Seeing Lin, the young man seemed very excited: "Benefactor, I didn't expect that you would come to visit our family, please come in quickly."
She was led to the inner room and knelt down. She heard a baby crying from the side room, and the woman hurriedly moved in. Rin sat for a while, but didn't see Sakura, so she asked curiously, "Where's Sakura?"
The man scratched his head, smiling, with a proud look on his face, "I am the deputy of the Thorn people. I have been in Heijokyo for less than two weeks. A very prestigious wizard happened to pass by here. He thought Xiaoying was quite talented, so he took her as his apprentice."
"...Um, Mage..."
Lin's expression became strange. A mage, isn't that a monk? I thought Sakura would become an Onmyoji, but she ended up becoming... a nun?!
Well, there was actually no such thing as nuns at that time. To be precise, they were female monks, and they were quite prestigious and did not have to shave their heads. But the problem was that once you became a monk you could not get married.
Noticing that Lin looked strange, the man almost understood his thoughts and sighed: "Although we can't get married in the future, this is also for Xiaoying's good. Besides, having a great wizard at home can also help us gain a foothold in this complicated place. My benefactor has also seen my wife before. She is the new wife I married after Xiaoying left. Not long ago, we also had a son..."
A relieved smile appeared on his face, which was enough for his whole life. Lin nodded, not knowing whether to feel sorry for the little girl or to be relieved. He tilted his head and looked out the window unconsciously. He happened to see a huge cherry tree in the backyard and stood up suddenly.
"benefactor?"
"I want to see that cherry tree."
Entering the yard from the side door, Lin looked up at the old cherry tree, its huge body almost taking up half of the yard.
Frowning slightly, Rin checked the cherry tree but didn't find anything unusual. He touched his chin and thought, not knowing if it was a coincidence. But his intuition told him that this family might be the birthplace of Yuyuko as a human in the future.
So, when did Youyouzi appear?
I searched my memory carefully and thought about the pink-haired glutton who rarely spoke and always shouted "hungry, hungry, hungry, eat" even when he uttered a word... I decided to give up thinking about it for the time being. I would see him sooner or later anyway if I followed Sister Zi.
After looking at the cherry blossom tree for a while, Rin thought for a moment and said, "I wanted to bring some gifts for Sakura, but since she's not here, I'll give it to you. You can pass it on when Sakura comes back, or your family can practice with it."
He recorded the experience he had previously recorded with Meihong, Zibba and Youxiang, as well as some small spells he had obtained in the monster market and ghost market in a book and gave it to Saigyouji.
This kind of thing is indeed very precious to ordinary people, but since the Saigyouji family will produce a magician sooner or later, it doesn’t matter. Besides, Rin herself also wants to see whether the future Yuyuko will be born in this family.
After a few polite words, Rin turned and left Saigyouji's house. Standing at the door, he looked at the small house. If his guess was correct, it wouldn't be long before Saigyouji would be able to become a famous demon-exorcising family in Heijokyo, and this house would also expand several times.
He returned to the Taketori family in silence, as if he was the head of the family who had to pay his dues. Rin obediently handed the phone to Kaguya, watched her play games, and at the same time molested the young girl from time to time.
At night, I waited for the sound of Kaguya's peaceful breathing in her sleep before I walked out the door. I originally wanted to go to the ghost clan, but I found that the air tonight was particularly heavy.
He paused, looked up at the cold moon, and frowned slightly. For some reason, he always felt that there was something inexplicably wrong in the atmosphere.
Silently sensing the air currents around him, he realized that there seemed to be someone else present and chased in the direction he sensed. In a few seconds, he lost the other person's figure. Lin stood in the bamboo forest in a trance. He turned his head and saw a glowing arrow stuck in the middle of the bamboo, and pulled it out.
No one knows what material the arrow is made of. The shaft doesn't look like wood, and the arrowhead doesn't look like metal. The pattern is complex, and there's air flowing through it when you touch it.
"Is this... what Eirin left behind? What does she want to do?"
Among the people he was familiar with, only Eirin could use a bow and arrow, so he immediately thought of her. However, he had no idea what her intention was, nor did he know whether it was a warning or something she wanted to say. No matter how he guessed, it didn't seem right, because with Eirin's personality, if she wanted to say something, she would just tell it face to face, and she wouldn't leave any messy marks.
After thinking it over again and again, Rin gave up the idea of joining the demon tribe, turned around and went back to the room. Just as he was about to lie down on the mattress to continue sleeping, Kaguya suddenly sat up on the quilt next to him. She sat there in a trance for a while, as if she felt something, and her expression was inexplicably panicked.
"Rin, they're coming!"
"them?"
Lin asked back subconsciously, then suddenly reacted, his face solemn, he walked out of the room with a knife in hand, and looked at the exceptionally large moon. There was a strange purple dot in the center of the moon, which was absolutely not visible under normal circumstances.
Kaguya followed and grabbed Rin's arm, her expression firm: "Rin, they are here. Maybe my sentence has ended early... They want to take me back to Yuedu, but I will talk to them and ask to stay on Earth for a while longer."
"fine."
Rin clenched the knife. From what she could see so far, it was either because of Kaguya's condition, or because Eirin played a role in it, or it was a complete request. In any case, she could stay for a while longer until The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter was over.
However, Rin didn't want to stay on the ground for a while longer. What he wanted was for Kaguya to stay completely on the ground.
As long as Yukiyomi and Kaguya's two sisters are there, and the sages on the moon don't show up, he has at least a 50% chance of forcing back the moon soldiers. Even if some idlers appear... well, he may really not be able to defeat them and it all depends on luck.
Come to think of it, Yonglin came and left in a hurry before, and left the arrow behind. Was it just to remind us of this?
Rin's eyes flickered as he glanced at Kaguya, remembering the contempt that the people of Moon City held for the people on the ground. In order to avoid any complications and to facilitate a sneak attack if necessary, he jumped into the bamboo forest to hide his figure and breath.
In the sky, a chariot was speeding from the moon towards Kaguya, with two armored moon soldiers standing in front of the chariot.
After seeing the unified military uniforms of the future, and then looking at the current Yuedu soldiers wearing silver-glittering armor and looking extremely flashy, Lin couldn't help but complain in his heart that the people of Guyue were really old-fashioned.
Rin had originally thought that the person who came would be a combat rabbit like Lingxian, but she found out that it was a real moon person, a man at that, which made her quite disappointed.
The two lunar people looked exactly the same, and it was unclear whether they were clones or twin brothers. When they arrived on the ground, they first bowed respectfully to Huiye. Their expressions were exactly the same, and even their voices and speeds of speech were exactly the same.
"Your Highness, your sentence has been served. Please come back with us."
Although it is true that she is very respectful, Kaguya is the daughter of the supreme Yue Yejianzun after all. In fact, the people of Yuedu still have some opinions about her.
The current situation in Yuedu is very complicated. Yue Yejian never takes care of things and often goes into seclusion, so no one knows what's on her mind. In short, Yuedu is ruled by several sages. Even the two sisters, Mianyue Fengji and Mianyue Yiji, who are also princesses, do not have much real power.
By the way, Yonglin is one of the Moon Sages, and also the smartest one among them, so he is called the Moon Brain.
This is the meaning that Rin understood from the few words spoken by Mirai and Eirin, which is that apart from having the divinity of fortune-telling, the combined IQ of the other sages is not as good as that of Eirin alone. This is probably how it can be understood.
"Strange, how come I remember that there should be two days (two years on Earth) left?"
"This is the result of a joint discussion among several wise men. Your Highness, please come with me and report back."
Kaguya frowned slightly, glanced at Rin out of the corner of her eye, and continued, "Since you have committed a serious crime, I will naturally wait until the end of my sentence. You just need to go back and tell me what I said."
"Princess Kaguya, please come back with us and obey our orders immediately, or we will be rude to you."
Seeing that they ignored Kaguya's authority and were about to forcibly escort them, Rin could no longer sit still and directly used his ultimate skill. The Future Eternal Slash turned into several sword lights and attacked the soldiers.
At the same time, the uneasy and solemn atmosphere in the air was slightly relieved. Farther away, the great doctor with both virtue and medical skills who could bring people back to health put down the bow in his hand, and the light blue arrow made of spiritual power disappeared.
Feeling that someone was attacking, the moon soldier's shield opened instantly, and was randomly cut by the sword light, completely breaking the shield.
Rin appeared beside Kaguya, and after some estimation, he found that the two soldiers that Yuedu had photographed were weaklings and it was not difficult to deal with them.
"Damn you dirty ground people!"
The two people, whose shields were broken and in a bit of a mess, saw Rin, and their expressionless faces showed extreme disgust. Then they looked at Kaguya and said, "The princess actually colluded with the dirty and despicable ground people who are like ants. We will report this to the sage when we return."
